The third most common question or misconception, that is there in

00:00:05 --> 00:00:10

the minds of non Muslims is, why are most of the Muslims terrorist?

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

And especially after 911, after the seventh to July the seventh

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

seventh London bombing, there was a common statement that all

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. What

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26

is the meaning of the word Terrorist? Terrorist, by

00:00:26 --> 00:00:31

definition means a person who causes terror. Whenever a robot

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

sees a policeman who is terrified, so for the robot, the policeman is

00:00:35 --> 00:00:39

a terrorist. I'm aware that this word terrorist is more commonly

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

used to terrorize an innocent human being
